(Reuters) - Manchester City's bumpy midweek flight in from Lisbon amid high winds had everyone worried before it was diverted to Liverpool but manager Pep Guardiola praised the pilot on Friday for keeping a calm head and reassuring the passengers.

Winds from storm Dudley buffeted their flight as it attempted to land in Manchester before the pilot aborted and took the decision to land at Liverpool's airport instead."When I saw the video it was more scary than we felt. It was bumpy... It was a moment we were going down and immediately the engine started to roll on and we go up," Guardiola told reporters.

"The pilot was magnificent because we felt really anxious but thanks to the way he talked to us, everyone was calm." "To lose four times in a row is not easy for top teams," Guardiola said."They have a lot of weapons, Son we suffer every time, with Kane, Moura -- they have a lot of quality." "He arrived and his impact was clear, many teams started to play five at the back - before always four," Guardiola said.
